Got him.
No more Saddam. One more left.
Absurd? Yes. Funny? Sometimes. Current? Hardly, but getting better. Useful? Rarely.
I say things you may or may not agree with, but you can always say what you want too.

ABI Hosting | The truth about cookies
I ran across this link this morning looking for an answer to a test question on a Cold Fusion Application Development exam I was reviewing for a friend of mine.
The question was "How many cookies per domain can exist on your computer?" Well the answer is 20, which the page linked above states, but there is also
some pretty good myth-busting going on there too. To sum it up, a cookie is stored on YOUR computer, so you are ultimately in control. But even today, there
is no way a web site, unscrupulous or not, is going to get your email address, name, phone number or dress size, UNLESS YOU TELL THEM. Cookies can't read
your mind. However I can tell right now that your browser can be described like this:#cgi.http_user_agent# and it is about #timeFormat(now())# EST right now. Pretty useful stuff. I just invaded your privacy, but not really.

I am a small and precious child, my dads been sent to fight... The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams at night. He will be gone too many days For my young mind to keep track. I may be sad, but I am proud. My daddy's got your back.
I am a caring mother. My son has gone to war... My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black. I may be scared, but I am proud. My son has got your back.
I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go. There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know. I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my husband pack... My heart may break, but I am proud. My husbands got your back...
I am a soldier, sailor, airman or marine... Serving Proudly, standing tall. I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call. I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks. Say a prayer that I'll come home. It's me who's got your back.

Minnesota Vikings: The Official Team Web Site
Its games like this that really give the shock absorbers on the bandwagon a workout. All around Minnesota water coolers, those same people that have badmouthed Daunte Culpepper, accused Randy Moss of slacking and openly wondered what Mike Tice was smoking are all aboard the fairweather fan bandwagon.
The Vikings gave Seattle a thrashing this weekend that was reminiscent of previous seasons in which December brought a flurry of wins launching the Vikes into Postseason play, only to be soundly trounced in the first or second round.
I am here to tell you, this year will be no different. The Vikes have Chicago, Kansas City and Arizona left on their schedule. They will beat Chicago, but just barely. Kansas City will beat them, but not by much. The last game of the season, Arizona will wish they had just packed it in early, the Vikes will have their way with them and head into the playoffs with a head of steam like never before. Here is my prediction though; they will lose either the first or second game of the playoffs by a margin of 20 points or more. Good luck to them.

Yahoo! News - Tempers Fray as Law Enters Parking Jungle
And you think parking is out of control where you live? The only thing I find curious is that they are using air guns. Serbia isn't exactly known for its lack of violence. The menacing air-gun, hardly the tool I would choose to vent my psychotic frustrations about parking with. If you want non-lethal, use a paintball gun. Feels about the same to the victim, but is much messier, like a video game!

Leftist Student Gets Slap on the Wrist for Anti-military Bomb Plot
Wow. Home by Christmas. For declaring war on the United States. I call that treason. This guy's ass is an enemy combatant, even more so than the ones detained in Cuba. He is on American soil, plotting to destroy and kill, with explosives or otherwise. He should be in jail. Forever.

Above is an article in the St. Paul paper about the Chief Selects and I making a narrow path wide again. :)

Actually, here is something interesting. In my quest to get answers to some of the more inane questions that the Chief's mess is asking of us, I ran across an email address for a chief that was on the USS Ticonderoga when I was serving as a mess crank (cook) in the Chief's mess. I sent him a note and gave him a little bit of grief for making me prepare him omlettes with no yolks and he remembered me. He thought I was still in Norfolk and invited me to his retirement ceremony. He is a senior chief now, great guy. Going to be cool to have some guidance from him to include in my collection.
I haven't got anything to say of great importance, but I did promise myself that I was going to start this thing up again. Apparently I don't even have any cheese for anyone to move. Very wrapped up in my Navy stuff now, busy as hell. Trying to get my work life in shape so I can take off for my two weeks. I will be so glad when that two week evolution is over and my life can go back to being just abnormal instead of insanely abnormal.

Here it is. This is the page that you visit to update your blogs. I wonder why my last blog was OVER A YEAR AGO.
